Health Equity for All: Designing for Greater Accessibility in Exam and Procedure Rooms

Designing for accessibility in ambulatory care environments is crucial for ensuring all patients, regardless of their physical, cognitive or sensory abilities, can access and receive appropriate care.

In this new white paper, we look at the importance of designing for accessibility when it specifically comes to exam and procedure rooms where most of the patient/caregiver interaction occurs. We also offer suggestions that help individuals involved in the design and construction of exam and procedure rooms ensure accessibility is considered during the design and planning phase of a new build or renovation.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to design exam and procedure rooms that comply with the latest US Access Board standards while creating spaces that accommodate patients of all abilities
  • Specific equipment considerations, including the importance of proper exam and procedure chairs that meet the new 17-inch low seat height requirement
  • How to break down barriers and foster an inclusive environment where both patients and care teams can engage in enhancing health and well-being.
